Hello there all its offical rucksack purchased flights booked and the long walk is starting next Monday from St Jean. Slightly apprehensive about first few days but really want to start in France if only to tease the French about the fact that ireland will win the Rugby World Cup.

Serioulsy any words of advice for the journey. Is the anyone starting the Camino around then...??
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Welcome to the forum.

The great adventure begins!

The best advice, as always, is start out slow and don't push hard for the first days.

Try to post when you can and keep us updated on the current conditions.
Buen Camino.

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
